Kleomenes of Sparta

Kleomenes of Sparta (326 BC-) was King of Sparta during the 3rd century BC. He was an enemy of the Roman Republic due to the Greek states' alliance against Roman expansion, and, in 266 BC, he led a fleet towards Croton in southern Italia with the goal of reclaiming Magna Graecia. However, the arrival of a new garrison from Tarentum convinced Kleomenes' fleet to retreat.
